March 2024
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

3-1-12 Ted The Hero

by Ben

One day Ted and his family went on a vacation to Florida.  Ted asked his Dad is his friends Fred, Ed, and Ned could come too. His Dad said it would be fine.  So Ted asked his friends if they could come.  They said they would have to talk to their Dads about it.  Ned said he could come and Ed said he could come too.  Fred was already going on a vacation with his family so he could not come. So Ted’s family and friends started on the way to the airport.  It was a 2 hour drive to the airport and a 20 hour flight on the plane.  When they landed they got a taxi and had a ride to their cabin.  When they got there, they unpacked.  Then they went on a hike.  They went to Key West and swam in the ocean.  Ted saw someone he knew.  It was Fred.

“Hi,” said Ted. “I didn’t know you were coming to Florida on your vacation!”

So they all decided to stay in the same cabin.  Then they went out for a boat ride.  Ted saw somebody out in the ocean.  So he threw out a rope and saved the boy’s life. The boy gave Ted $1500 for saving his life.
